SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The public arc aware that the Greek nation has been not much better treated in America in the build ing and equipincalt of certain frigates, than in England in raising the money for paying this and other ex pellees resulting from the glorious itruggle in which Greece is engaged. A pamphlet has been put .into our hands, published at New York, on the subject of the frigates, by the Greek Deputy or Agent Contoa faVlos. The statement is to this effect :—Tha tan application was made to two houses, that of Le Hoy, Bayard and Co., and that of G. G. and S. Howland, to build the frigates ; that the houses in question ac cepted the job with gratitude ; that they gave in an estimate for one frigate, amounting to 247,500 d o llars ; and engaged to finish the two bi six months. In the sace, however, of five months, the contractors had already drawn fbr and received more by '200,000 dollars than the estimated cost of the two liigatea, and neither of them were yet launched. The building of the frigates was, in truth, not announced as near its conclusion till eleven months from the commencement, instead of 'six; and then the expense of each, instead of 240,000 dollars, was 550,000 dollars ; and the Greek Deputies were informed that they, should not sail till the money was paid. We have almost ex hausted our fund of investigation and indignation on the English Contractors for Greek loans ; and there fore have but little left to bestow on the condnet of the American Contractors. Suffice it to say, that a squ abble ensued between M. Contostavlos and the two h ous es (;.f Bayards and. Rowlands : law is had re vnirse to ; arbitrators are appointed ; their award is unsatisfactory ; and, to be brief, the pamphlet thus concludes • " But, what will fill every booth with horror, remains still to be told. 1 think I mentioned that the Deputies, in commissioning these two frigates, wrote to both houses not to undertake the building of them in ease the laws of ~t he United States should be.opposed to their construction A nd departure. Messrs. Bayards and Rowlands answered that there was no law toprevent it, and without any further trouble undertook their construction. It was now, during the arbitration, contended by my counsel, and must be acknowledged on all hands, that this transaction was ille gal, and that the' frigates wereisubject to seizure and eon fiscation at every moment, and at the instigation of any man who should choose to be an informer. Was it then generous, was it just, was it christiaulike, that these arbi trators, after having awarded to these houses a commission amounting altogether. to' 86,381 dollars, 60 cents, for the building of these two frigates, to award and order their Wane& to be paid, and throw upon a foreigner not only the whole responsibility of the law, but also the imyossi bility. of sending out this last resource to his country e Ge nerous reader, whoever you are, calm your anxiety. The frigate, the only frigate, which cost 155,00t)1. sterling to the Greek nation, is now on her way to Greece. For the Same country that gave birth to these arbitrators, gave also existence to. Henry D. and Robert Sedgwick ; without 'whose intervention and assistance, the generous way in which, through their disinterested solicitations, a bond to an amount of 600,000 dollars has been signed by several individuals, ant] their unparalleled exertions, the frigate, Avith this award, could never leave these American shores ! These two gentlemen, with the upright and noble-minded John Duer and B. Robinson, constituted my counsel. The .noble, the independent,:tho fatherly way (for friendly does, not express half the fedi* of my heart) in which they have : defended this sacred cause,uai acquired for them my gratitude arid the gratitude of my country,"—Thics.

It w a s time p t e i rsons to ,should know this could not be done. Th, i ' B Pb lie thus delivered by the Lord Chief Justice o f t h:P e u r MOO Pleas does credit to his heart and understand:- Where, indeed, amid the almost general curruptioli ) . f ent ete res day, would the princip les of honesty and .goo, - l p faith find countenance and p r otection if they h ad . not a fefuge in the pu rit y of the - Bench ? Too many instances of diegraceful or cnal participation ni Joint Stock delusions have been brought home to Members of the Legiaiature, to allow us to look up with unquali6ed re spect or c onfidence to the co shllective s . character of Parliammt. I;entlerrien and arper cannot long usocia.te torigether without the more ho nourable minds suffering from the Wont contact with such base coinpattionsbip. We blush for ate Peerage, sullied as its honours are, bI wlw so many have I A mingled their coronets with the foraging caps of prowling adventurers. ,We feel shame for another House, that, like a place mentioned in ancient ,seenia to require .a new Hercules to cleanse away its impurities. But no Judge has allowed his name to be contaminated by intermixture with the vile specula tions of human credulity, that have exhausted the' pockets and desolated the morals of the people. This fact is hi lily ereditable'to the judicial character of the present day, when Peers, Statesmen, Senators, and Churchmen, have leaned with, or become the tools of the meanest of mankind, and sharedin the dirty pro duce of their sordid occupation, • What can be more griev - ous than.to behOld the plague-spot of mercenary fraud infecting the classes of society that one might have thought would have been most inviolate—the Constitutional guardians of the public morality ? But if Chief Justice .Best thinks it only his duty to speak in terms of suchsevere condemnation of those who have lent their names to the joint-stock frauds, what, language would he find sufficiently strong to express his indignation of the infamous men who contrived those things—whii invented the false evidence to give thein body and colour—as well as those Who aided the deception by inserting in venal newspapers the lying articles that, like the oracles of evil,' inflicted on the credulous people a deplorable infatuation ? The race of highwaymen who alarmed our forefathers, appears to be extinct, but the generation of swindlers has mul tiplied beyond all former example. There is no spoil divided now on Bagshot or - Hounslow Heaths. A more " genteel" and extensive species of robbery is now practised in the broad day, and in the most po pulous parts of the Metropolis. The " operators" are better off in all respects than the gentlemen who used to take " to the road," and finish their romantic his tory at Tyburn—for the Joint Stock plunderers are se cured against the gibbet, and hardened against dis grace.—Morning Herald. The public will learn, with surprise, that a patent, for the constituting a new Board of Stamps, is at length issued. Mr. Stewart, a brother of Lord Gal loway, is appointed Chairmen ; the names of the other Members are, Mr. Saurin, Mr. Boden, Mr. Tornton, Mr. W. B. Montagne, Mr. S. Montague, and Mr. Richard Wellesley. It is rumoured that there is to be a Deputy-Chairman, as at the, two other BoardS, but who is to fill that office we have not learned. We understand that this extraordinary mea sure will be taken up early in the ensuing Parliament, as a very general feeling preYails throughout the kingdom, that the whole originated 'in a pre-deter mination, on the part of the Scotch faction, to deter any Englishmen, in future, from setting his foot as a reformer on the other side of the Tweed. And Mr. Sedgwick, the Chairman of the Stamp Board, is to be held out as an example in terrorem, to every man under Government, who, if sent to look into the state of any. Revenue Office there, shall dare to report the truth as he .finds it. If any measure ever deserved 'to be well sifted by Par liament, it is the most extraordinary one which has here been taken. What Englishman holding office in this country is safe, if he is to lie at the mercy of any Scotchman in power, who, with three or four col leagues that shall be appointed to act with him,, may, under tl'e cover of a Parliamentary Inquiry, which is in the nature of a Grand Jury, get a sentence passed upon him without even the emu of trial, and sacrifice him upon the spot ? Mr. Sedgwick increased the Stamp Revenues, ass he has proved unanswerably, 60,0001. a-year by the rascality which lie rooted out in the short space of even a few weeks' in quiry ; and then comes the Melville influence to put it all back again ; and while the people of England are taxed till they don't know which way to turn them ' selves to get wherewithal to satisfy the pressing and eternal demands of the tax-gatherers, this honest ser vant of the public is worked out of office for having prevented the burthens of his country from being in . creased, and its starving population being still further ground down to Maki up the deficiency in the Reve nue created by •Seotelt frauds and Scotch evasions. Gracious God ! Talk of the writings of such men as Tom Paine and Carlisle, we will tell Mr. Wallace and the Melvilles that this single proceeding of theirs will make more Radicals than all their labours put together. We have no very high ,opinion of " my Lords" of the Treasury where there is a job in hand. But we. confess it does surprise us, and we know it surpris4 even the professed friends of Lord Liverpool, that he should have made himself a party in an act so ordi narily unconstitutional as that which the country has here witnessed, and this too when the real motives are now matter of public notoriety, and when the manner in Which Mr. Wallace has conducted his inquiry has excited a cry of " Shame ! Shame !" wherever the Chaair.tp4 every part an's letters have reached—and they have reached of the kingdom.—Morning . 1 hronicle, MURDVR AT ---- CAM.fni...""O n Monday last Jan Ray, of Carlisle, labourer, was to Carbide gaol, charged on the verdict of a Coroner's inquest, wit!! tlif wilfu l murder of Jane Myers, widow of the late well-known Iti!wrt Myers, chimney-sweeper; with whom he improperly cohabited, although her age was nearly seventy years, and his owu nut unioh above forty. it appeared on the inquiry before the City Coroner, that on the night of Saturday the 21 st of October, the prisoner and others, men and women, were in Myers'e room, in Ritson's Lane, drinking whiskey, when some angry words arose between Myers and Ray in consequence of her refusal to fetch any more liquor. After this, all the parties left the room except the pri soner, the deceased, and a girl of the town, named Draper. n o latter immediately went to bed in the apartment.

This was a rule Nisi for a criminal information obtained last torn against the proprietor, printer , and publisher of the newspaper called the English Gentleman, for a libel on Mr. Rothschild, contained in a paragraph imputing that 11r. Rothschild, in order to ruin the banking firm of Lloyd and Co.,.had, during the late pecuniary panic, paid a large sum of money into their hands, and suddenly called for it in hopes that they would be unable to honour his draft;. and adding, " It is not true that Mr. Rothschild has cut his throat" Since the above-mentioned rule had been granted, a ne goeiation had been opened between the defendants and the prosecutor's attorney, and it was agreed, that if the de fendants gave up the author of the libel, the rule should not be made absolute against two of the defendants. The defendants had, accordingly, given up a Mr. Washborough as the author; and now Mr. SciutErr, being so instructed, consented that the rule should be discharged, as it respected two of the de fendants, but moved that it should be made absolute against the defendant Cunningham. 'Mr. B Rou;IIAM appeared, for. the other two defendants, and prayed that the rule might be discharged with coots, inasmuch as the author had been given up; but— The COURT said, in such a case, they should grant no Costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.,---Abrahant Paantore, au old man, dad in the uniform of a Greenwich pensioner, Wtl.y brought up for re-exami nation yesterday, charged with defrauding one Hannah Keel, a poor woman, residing in Poppiu'a•court, Fleet-street, of the sum of Is. Sd. The complainant stated, that on Sunday s the 15th ult., soon after she had returned from worship, the prisoner gave the pecu liar knock at the street door (that is, knociced twice), which de noted that the visitor was to her. When eke went to the door, the prisoner, quite a stranger, looked otedfaetly in her face, and inquired if her name was not Kimber? She replied, it was not. " Then," said the prisoner, "it is Keel." She admitted it bad been Kimber, and was now Keel. "I am right, then," said the prisoner. 4 4 My son, who is now at the Dundee Arms, Wapping, has brought from the East Indies a parcel delivered to him by your son. 1 have seen it. There is written upon it 4 For Hannah Keel, delivered into the care of James •White, July 4, 1826.' The prisoner said she would have the parcel free of expellee, upon payitig him Is. 3d., but she must go to the Dundee Arms before six o'clock that evening to fetch the parcel, as his son would start at that hour for Plymouth. Her husband invited him to dinner, mid during the meal she noticed he had lost one of his fingers.— Her husband said to him, " My. friend, I have lately read in the papers that some gentlefulke have been tricked by such a person as you are, and I fear thou art an imposter. If you are, be assured your sins will find you out." " God forbid," exclaimed the pri soner, " that I should deceive you ;" and his frank address lulled entirely their suspicions. Before they parted, she paid him the Is. 3d., and he borrowed a handkerchief, which he was to return next day, but she siw no more of him until he was apprehended. Wolfe, the officer, said the prisoner called upon him ou the 17th ult., with intelligence that his son-in-law had sent from abroad a parcel which was left at the Dundee Anus. He gave the prisoner 6d. for his trouble; but on going to , the Dundee Arms, he found he had been hoaxed. _ _ . . A brief notice in four lines, published in one of the Sunday Papers, that such a character was in custody, produced fresh au cusers at the office yesterday morning. Jane King, chandler, City-road, related that the prisoner knock ed at her door on Sunday the Ist ult. She peeped between the shutters, and having a Gott at sea, and espy►ng the old man's Greenwich uniform, she became greatly agitated. Ile asked her if she had not a eon at sea? she told him shelled ; he went out in the Spartiute. " The same,'' said he. ." And he went over to the Marquis Wellesley," added Mrs. King. " The very same," ex claimed Abraham. " lam quite right," After keeping her in some suspense, slid calling for pen,'ink, sad paper, he wrote a (E -rection, by paying attention to which She would find something desirable. The direction ran thus "Your to seta touvaley to the Eiupper Wartage (Upper \\rewrote7, laeofora, uu board the. Spqrshous with aperd. " JAMES SMITH, ,Colage Man." " Bring a fren with thee► that Person that come." Witness explained that her son had left the Spartiate some time, but he said that did not matter ; she would find that all right. She wanted to treat him with some spirits, but he de dined, observing that he might have rolled in liquor when he saw her son the night before. She next pressed him to stop and dine with her, which he consented to "doi provided he might pay for .what hei should eat, us he could not bear to eat at the expense - of a poor widow ; but she positively refused to tike his money, awl after some further reluctance, he said grace, and then dowu be sat to her joint of Mutton. Raving finished his meal, he stole a handkerchief out of a clothes' basket by his side, while she was . absent for a minute ; and on her return she found him eyeing so►ne little valuables in a glazed etipboard. She did not leave him alone after that, and he soon departed, promising to call again on the following Sunday in his gold-laced clothes. Shortly after wardµ she missed the handkerchief, and the story about her son's return, and the Spartiate, turned out to be untrue. Ann, the wife of John Allen, Jetvin-street, said the prisoner knocked at her door On the SOth of September; and informed her that her son (who Went out in the Industry for the Cape of Good Hope) and his son; .and all the ship's crew had run away, on ac count of the ill treatment they received from the Captain ; but that if she would call unit Capt. Jones, Stepney-eauseway, she, might receive 27e. a part of her son's pay. She gave him 3d. and invited him to a slight repast, which he accepted, after ex pressing much reluctance, because, froM her flunily, he saw she had so many mouths to feed. When she reached Stepney-cause way, she met with another female in quest of Capt. Jones, who produced a knife the prisoner had left in her lodging, and which witness identified as having been stolen from her. After wander ing about Stepney-causeway for an hour and a half, accompanied by a pilot, they returned home, : convinced that they had been ; duped. Rebecca Ainner, East Smithfield,. and her husband, had lost a . day's lakour in searching the river from the I.ondon Docks to.

Mr. Gregorie most humanely ordered her a chair ; a glass of water was brought, as she was nearly fainting while giving her evidence. She became acquainted with the prisoner at Twiekenham ; it was at his re quest that she came to reside in Westminster, as he said she could live cheaper, and he would do all in his power to serve her. She had washed for him, and he boarded under the same roof. On Thurs day last she took the money'from her pocket, and placed it in the drawer before sl le went out. On her return she met the prisoner on the wirs,Who passed her Without speaking. About 20 Minutes afterwards I on her going to the drawer, she instantly missed the money, which she had intended to buy furniture with ; but having no coals, and also being withopt food, and her poor little boy ill in bed, she reluctantly went to break into her money to provide sub sistence. The prisoner had slept in the same apartment with her and her family for three months; but from the time of the rob bery until Sunday evening, she had not seen him. When became in on the Sunday, she gave her daughter a hint, who went out k and brought an officer, and the prisoner was taken into custody. George Pople, the Officer, said that he was sent for to appre hend the prisoner, whom he found intoxicated ; he told hint he had no regular lodging ; had been drinking for some days, and bad no employ. On searching him, he only found a few shillings, The prisoner, in his defence, said, that on Thursday night he was in bed with Mrs. Harding, and in consequence of some words between them, he got .up and went out. He could also prove an alibi. Mrs. Harding positively denied having seen him that evening. Remanded until Monday next. MARYLEBONE.—The Proprietors of several Coffee-shops were summoned by Johnson, for keeping their shops open until a later hour than allowed by the Act of Parliament. The first case was proved against a Mrs. Mary Warren, by John Brooks, one of Johnson's men, who said, that he went into the defendant's shop at half-past five o'clock, on the morning of the 28th of October, at which time there were four men in the shop, not including himself. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs. The next ease, against Mr. Hale, in Well's-street, was dis mind, Mr. Hale having proffiiced witnesses who directly contra dicted the informer's evidence. The third case was prOved against John lialcombe, the keeper of a coffee-shop, in. Crown-street, St. Oiles'e. The Magistrate (Mr. Griffith) expressed'some relnetance to hear this information, as it was out of the district of this Office Mr. Griffith, how ever, ultimately consented to hear the case, in order to save the parties any further' inconvenience. The case was proved in the usual manner, and when Mr. Griffith informed Mr. Halcombe that he must convict him in the mitigated penalty of twenty shil lings, Mr. Halcombe said ;—" It is quite out of my power to pay the fine ; therefore I must take the consequences." Mr. Gamtrit—l cannot argue upon that subject; the law must take its course. Mr. Halcombe was then ordered to be detained for the amount of the penalty; but shortly afterwards Johnson returned to the Office, and begged the Magistrate's permission to withdraw the information against Mr. Halcombe, as he understood that be had a wife and large family, and was in very reduced circumstances.— Mr. Griffith told Johnson that, in so doing, he had acted very properly, and he felt uo hesitation in complying with his request. The information was accordingly withdrawn. UATTON-GARDEN.—Yestertlity, Mn -John James Daw son, an attorney at law, of Symoud's Inn, Chancery-lane, and of Woodland House, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Mr. Richard Husband, and Mr. Thomas Gordon, who are also in the legal profession, were brought up by Hall, the watehhouse-keeper at the Found ling, into whose custody they had been given at an early hour on Sunday morning, charged by Mr. Busbridge, the livery-stable keeper in Gray's-inn-road, with creating a great disturbance at Hs house, to the annoyance of his family and the whole neighbour hood. The Magistrate said, that it was highly improper on the part of Mr. Dawson and his friends to create such a disturbance, and at such an hour in the morning; however, on the present occa sion, he should not call upon them for bail, and therefore they were at liberty to go about their business. The defendants were then discharged, Mr. Dawson declaring he would bring an action against Mr. Busbridge. UNION-llALL.—Within the last month numerous burglaries have been committed in Wa'worth, Newington, and their vici , nities, and notwithstanding the vigilance of the constable* of those parishes to apprehend the ollintilers, their efforts havb not been crowned with success. The house of Mr. liindmareb, in Carter street, Walwurtb, was forcibly entered on the night of the 17th of October, and a variety of articles, chiefly linen and wearing appa rel, were carried off by the thieves. The litter, it was manifest from the snffles' of the aperture by which they entered, were mere boys. A short time after theburglary, Snow, the constable of Newington, succeeded in apprehending three lads, on suspicion of being concerned in it, whore names are Buket, Baker, and Meek. These boys have already undergone an examination, and are remanded. Yesterday some aiditional evidence tending to criminate them was produced. About four o'clock ou the morning of the, burglary, the prisoners were found lying on some straw in a shed' belonging to a person named Sparrow, on Walworth-common, and under the straw some articles which Mr. Ilindmarsh stated belonged to him were' discOvered concealed. The prisoners denied all' knowledge of the transaction. SALFORD MICHAELM . AS SESSIONS, Before J. NORRIS, J. ENTWISTLE, J. BRIERLEY, and J. H181110(1', Esqrs. MASTERS AND APPRRNTIcRs.--David Price and Messrs. Fairbairn and case came before the court under the provisions of the old statute of 5 Elizabeth, c. 4, s. 35, relative to apprentices, which directs that an apprentice having tense of complaint against his master, shall summon him before one Magistrate, and if he, for want of good conformity in the master, cannot agree the' same, he shall take bond of the master to appear at the Quarter Sessions, where the matter shall be finally deter mined by four Magistrates. The application now to the Court was by the apprentice Price, for an order to compel his masters to take him back to their employ.
